Before he had a big successful music career Jose Manuel Figueroa (Joan Sebastian's legal name) passed most of his childhood from place to place. At age eight he was sent away by his parents to Guanajuato for school. When he was eleven he return to Juliantla, his native town, this return inspired him to begin formally composing. But he was sent off again to a monastery in Morelos where he was under the care of father David Salgado. Due to the influence Father Salgado had on Sebastian he took the decision of becoming a priest. So at age 14 he enrolled in the Seminario Conciliar de San Jose(located in Cuernavaca, Morelos). But he soon realized that music was his true calling so when he was 17 years old he abandoned the seminary to dedicate himself completely to the music business.
Meanwhile he made a living as an administrative assistant in a vacationing resort in Oaxtepec, Morelos, where he would sing through the intercom. It was in that resort that Sebastian found the incentive he needed to pursue his singing dream more aggressively. The year was 1968 when Joan Sebastian encountered Angélica María (a famous Mexican actress) who was looking for a place to stay. While she waited she asked him if he sang and the following day he sang for her six songs. Angélica María suggested to Sebastian that he record the songs and gave him the telephone number of Eduardo Magallanes, a music producer. Without hesitating Sebastian moved to Mexico City and began knocking on doors until Chucho Rincon from Discos Capitals agreed to listen to him and thus began Sebastian's artistic career. He recorded his first disc and the positive results came fast when in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, the song "Descartada" sold 12 thousand copies. previous. His most recent production up to date is "Secreto de Amor" which was released in 2000 and sold over 1 million copies.

He was awarded "The Silver Pen Award" in 2000, and was named el jefe

Joan Sebastian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que no es lo mismo
Sentirse amado
Que amar sin que haya contestación
Verdad que quieres
Volver conmigo
Y es tu castigo
Igual como tú sufres yo sufrí
Igual como tú lloras yo lloré
Así como me imploras te imploré
Y como me olvidaste te olvidé
Verdad que quieres
Volver conmigo
Y es tu castigo
Saber que es de otra mi corazón
Igual como tú sufres yo sufrí
Igual como tú lloras yo lloré
Así como me imploras te imploré
Y como me olvidaste te olvidé
Igual como tú sufres yo sufrí
Igual como tú lloras yo lloré
Así como me imploras te imploré
Y como me olvidaste te olvidé
¿Verdad que duele?, ¿Verdad que duele?
The lyrics of Joan Sebastian's song, Verdad Que Duele, are about the difficulties of unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. The singer acknowledges that it hurts to realize that it's not the same to feel loved as it is to love someone without any reciprocation. The chorus asks if it's true that it hurts, emphasizing the emotional pain that comes with this experience. The second verse is directed at the object of the singer's unrequited love, who wants to come back to them. However, the singer admits that it's their punishment to know that the other person's heart belongs to someone else.
The repetition of the lines "Igual como tú sufres yo sufrí / Igual como tú lloras yo lloré / Así como me imploras te imploré / Y como me olvidaste te olvidé" (Just as you suffer, I suffered too / Just as you cry, I cried too / Just as you beg, I begged too / And just as you forgot, I forgot too) highlights the shared experience of heartbreak and the cycle of love and loss. The overall message is one of empathy and understanding towards the pain of unrequited love.
